The Long Way Home

Description for THE LONG WAY HOME by Alan Ebert: with Janice Rotchstein

They were the Tiernans, the second generation of an American dynasty that had forged its legend in the world of stage, screen, politics and history.  Shattered by an unjust war, at odds with one another and with themselves, each of the Tiernans embarks on a journey, searching for love, for purpose, for inner peace...

THOMAS---Decorated Air Force officer and former POW, he would never forgive the brother who dared to desert.

MARTI---The assassin's bullets that killed her father wounded her as well.  Actress and political activist, she would be driven into retreat until anger and passion swept away her fear.

JJ---The deserter, a filmmaker who found shelter in Canada.  He would come again to win back his honor, to resurrect his life.

JESSAMYN---A hasty marriage to JJ was the perfect step to a media career...but burning ambition would drive her from her husband's side.

CAROLYN---Pained by the splintering of her family, she and her sister Margaret are the matriarchs who must fight to bring them all together.
